Chapter Eleven: Go Do Something

Li Zhen smiled: "So I'm saying it to you, not to others. Then I need you to do something for me tomorrow."

"you say."

"I have absorbed Chiyou's power in your body, and you are definitely not as good as before. Then I think you will be injured tomorrow and then return to China as a wounded person."

Ying Ran stood up and planned to refute, but Li Zhen waved his hand: "It's not because he's worried about your safety, but because there's something else. I need you to bring you a message and do something after you return to China."

"One news is that we want to find the gun of Longineus. That thing may have fallen into the hands of Americans during World War II and is now held by the Gate of Truth. If you want to suppress the species, you have to rely on it - this is the secret I mentioned before."

"Don't think it's incredible - it's indeed the legendary thing, the Gun of Longineus. The Gate of Truth has created the 'Destroyer' bullet, you should have seen it. In fact, the core of that thing is mixed with the components of that gun. If you can accept the fact that those bullets are a deadly capable person, you should accept my statement."

Ying Jue Ran frowned slightly: "What about the second thing?"

"You also need to do it in China." Li Zhen said seriously. "No matter what reason or excuse you use, it is best to use an airplane or a motorboat - to let everyone in the Empire and the Philippines get news, or to let others get news - to meet somewhere."

He should ponder for a moment: "It's not impossible. Maybe I can do it - especially if you have a special identity now. But can you be sure that they will go after they get the news? Do you want to absorb them?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Look, you are trapped in the human mindset again. I will go when I receive your message, and they will go--they are all me. As for absorption... we won't do anything like killing each other - will your hands want to kill your feet?"

Ying Ran smiled decisively: "Well. I was wrong. But Longinus's gun... can that thing destroy species? This is the real world..."

Li Zhen understands what he thinks. There is a plot in the novel - by obtaining a certain magical artifact, you can gain magical power, expand your territory, and establish unparalleled achievements. But there are billions of people in the world... Even if everyone obediently stretches their heads over and makes people cut them, they will be exhausted to death, let alone not to mention that not everyone will buy someone's account.

The Dragon Slaying Sword is a good example.

But he said, "There are all spiritual energys, and there is nothing unacceptable. With that thing... it's enough to behead. I'll do it."

"But what exactly is that? It's really like the legend, because it's stained with that person's blood, so it becomes the spear of destiny?"

Li Zhen thought for a while: "It's a terrible thing. To be honest, I have recovered some memories, but it's not as good as five hundred years ago and five hundred years later. However, what I can tell you is that even I'm instinctively afraid of that thing. Maybe I'll know more if I really get it."

"But there is one evidence that cannot be ignored. The Spear of Destiny is also called the Spike of Longinus - a man named Longinus stabbed the man with this gun, so he got his name. But you should know that the elder of the Gate of Truth had his surname Longinus. A name became a surname that is today... and said there is no connection between the two, do you believe it?"

"I forgot this." Ying Ran sighed lightly, "Indeed, the elder of the Gate of Truth in my impression is indeed this surname."

"Then let's just say that."

Ying nodded resolutely, and then the two of them were silent for a while.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward - mainly from Ying Jue Ran. Because he knew that the person around him was no longer a human being, he even had the idea of ​​"watching the tigers fighting in the mountains".

But on the other hand... the person around him, whether in appearance or subtle body language, was the one he knew. So he thought about it and said casually: "Why are you still holding a cat?"

"The little thing I saw at Kesong." Li Zhen stroked its back hair, and then touched it under its nose, "It may be almost dead."

"It looks pretty good, why are you dying?"

Li Zhen smiled and used both hands to spread the cat's mouth, revealing his pointed little white teeth: "Look."

The cat's mouth was not pink, but a white layer of moss - not only the tongue coating, but even the upper palate was filled. The cat was awakened by this rough movement and instinctively wanted to close its mouth and escape from Li Zhen's hand. But he supported it with his two fingers, and the cat made a whimpering sound from his throat, which could not be closed. And its neck was held by the other hand, and even if its body twisted into a twist, it could not be broken away.

Ying Jueran smiled: "You can still see a doctor." But as soon as he finished speaking, he was slightly stunned.

Bite force. Li Zhen’s hand was an adult tabby cat, and now he stretched his mouth open with only two fingers. Can an ordinary person do this?

Most people's answer should be no.

However, he seems effortless at the moment.

Li Zhen pulled his hand out again, pressed the cat on his legs again, and gently stroked its back hair. His hands seemed to have magic. The cat quickly calmed down, squinted and looked at Ying Jue Ran and made a slight purr again.

"This little thing ate something that shouldn't have eaten." Li Zhen whispered while gently stroked it, "It's like you were saved by me."

Ying Jianran didn't say anything and just stared at the cat.

Originally, its belly was bulging and shiny. But as Li Zhen touched it again and again, he felt that he had almost had some illusion that it was getting thinner.

Five minutes later, he realized that it was not an illusion. The cat was indeed thin. It was no longer the fat cat before, but the common stray cat - it was thin, with long limbs, and the heavy purring sound became weak.

Li Zhen stopped and patted the raccoon's head.

It immediately opened its eyes alertly, and its eyes were shining brightly.

"If you are hungry, go." Li Zhen threw it to the ground, and the raccoon cat landed lightly in the distance and rushed into the ruins.

Ying Ran observed his movements in a silent manner, and suddenly said, "What did it eat?"

Li Zhen didn't answer.

"You took away the power of Chiyou from my body... So you have become a little stronger now? That cat-" He pointed to the distance, "Is it eating you or the wreckage of that egg? Have you absorbed them again?"

Li Zhen stood up and patted his shoulder: "Resolutely. Don't ask so much. Actually, I can tell you everything, but you believe me, and if you do that, you will feel hopeless. The people at the Gate of Truth always say that the Lord doesn't care. There is also a guy who told me that everything is meaningless. Now I know what they meant-"

"...No, don't ask me what the 'Lord' they said." Li Zhen looked at him seriously, "I will do my best, and I hope you can help me without any grudges."

Ying Jianran pondered for a moment, stood up and smiled: "You don't feel like you are asking for help from someone. But... it doesn't matter. Who made you a general now?"

He walked past Li Zhen and raised his hand: "Let's go. Go back to sleep."

Li Zhen stood there and watched him disappear into the bloody sky light, so he slowly walked to the other side.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Eight hours later.

Li Zhen and Ying recklessly walked on the road. At this time, the sky had not yet shone, and the earth was dark red.

There were sleeping crowds on both sides of the road, and there were still bonfires that had not yet been extinguished. A considerable number of refugees who escaped from the town came to the city walls of Zamboyan, with hundreds of people. But the defenders could not allow them to enter the city last night, so these people slept under the city walls - no matter what, there were fully armed soldiers patrolling the city, which would make people feel at ease.

But Li Zhen suggested that the commander check carefully after dawn to provide them with shelter. The previous blockade of the ruins was to find possible species, and also to Li Zhen who might exist. Now he appeared and said that there was nothing strange in the ruins. After hesitating, the commander "acted according to the order."

Although the major general of the Secret Service Office system and a posthumously awarded "general" did not have the authority to command the local garrison system, it is now a wartime period - Li Zhen is considered an absolute senior official.

He was going to advance to the base, and the commander said that he could distribute one-third of the troops to assist him. But this kind of thing was not that the more people, the better, so he refused. The other party did not worry much - because he thought he had the power to "kill the king level with a mug."

So before the sky was dawn, they left the city.

In fact, the defenders had already received news from several retreating soldiers that the advance base was indeed falling. It was not artillery fire and firearms that destroyed the guardian power, but tens of thousands of alien species who were not afraid of death.

What's even more terrifying is that a very strange person appeared in the base.

The defeated soldier described him as a "fire type capable person", but "it seemed to be a type of person". He "talked and laughed like a human", but "can transform ordinary people into alien species."

So Li Zhen and Ying Jueran were silent for a while. After walking out of the refugee settlement, Ying Jueran couldn't help asking: "Who do you think...who is that?"

"You think that's me." Li Zhen changed into a combat uniform and had a bulletproof vest on her body, which looked the same as before.

"Maybe it's another you, he... thinks he should help the kind of species?"

Li Zhen smiled: "This is impossible. I will not ignore my ideas and make my own decisions."

This is difficult to say, but it also sounds difficult to say. Ying resolutely nodded: "So what do you do?"

"I'll go over and ask him." Li Zhen said, "You're going to kill someone outside and do something for yourself. Don't get hurt too much, you're actually quite heavy." (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
